Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Pleasant Grove's 204.6 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Hurricane (205.0), Provo (206.6), Willard (209.3), St. George (210.0). These are same-year agency submissions that pass the same completeness screen, not a claim that the cities have identical conditions. They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 22.4% of the 339 Part I offenses reported in Pleasant Grove for 2024, against a median of 14.1% across comparable Utah cities — a gap of 8.3 points. Offense mix is shaped by which agencies report and how incidents are classified as well as by the underlying offenses, so it describes the reported record rather than a settled difference in conditions.
Position in the state cohort
At 204.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Pleasant Grove ranks 28 of 77 — above 49 of the 76 other Utah cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +49.7% against the cohort median of 136.6. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property counts dominate Pleasant Grove's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; cities that fail the completeness test stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
